Mine-Muse Monday The Lore of Libraries

I suppose it’s not unusual that so many books I read include references to libraries or characters who love to read. I’ve done the same in my books time and again.

How could I not?

I’m an author who haunted my local small-town library from the time I was old enough to ride my bike the few blocks to the insignificant building, now turned surf shop.

I’ve devoted an entire Pinterest board to “Bookish Things that Dazzle” and you can bet your bippie, there’s image after image of awe-inspiring libraries pinned there.

I love beautiful old, ornate libraries, and both the author and the former teacher in me worries just a bit that libraries aren’t valued like they once were. Let’s face it. Nowadays, we can carry an entire library on our choice of electronic device.

There’s something about the smell of libraries (and used bookstores too!) that appeals to me. Perhaps it’s because I always wonder about the people who read the books before me. I’ve seen several articles in the past few years of libraries losing funding and being forced to close, or even of libraries being abandoned and the books left to rot.

Thank goodness I write historicals, and I can plop my hero or heroine into a manor library or bookseller like The Temple of the Muses

Wouldn’t a tour of historical libraries be awesome? I’m envisioning manor houses , castle, and famous European locations!

I wonder, do you venture to your local library much anymore? I admit, I don’t except when I have another one of my books in print to donate.
